Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

After several curious encounters, Maple and Fu decided to move to a different place to discuss their future activities.

Coffee?

Yeah. That [Shirataga] is also your shop.

Fu brought the maple to a stylish coffee shop on the corner of the commercial block. Set in a quiet atmosphere in a secluded alley.

As Hu pushed the door open, the sound of a dry bell rang in the store.

Welcome to Coffee

"Oh, you're a lovely maid!"

Entering the store, they were greeted by an NPC dressed in chic maid clothes. Fu glows with amber eyes at the clerk who gently lowers his head with a smooth tone.

Please take this seat.

Thank you!

Two people sit on the sofa with box seats facing each other. Looking at the menu window that appeared at the same time as she was seated, the maple moved its brow.

I thought it was just pure coffee, but there's a lot of cooking.

"That dish is in Uri's place." Available in six sizes: S, M, L, DX, DXG, and DXGEX! Even M is quite large, and it's said to be a sanctuary for overeating. "

"Huh. It's quite an unusual shop again." Why would [Shiraku-an] like this place again? "

"Deputy leader Letty eats a lot." It seems to be famous for its muscles. "

It seemed that Hu knew a lot about the [Shirakan]. Maples, having guessed it, plotted to ask a lot of questions on this occasion.

Can you tell me a lot about the [White Deer Anchor]?

Well, let's start with the band system.

Remembering that the maple is a complete novice, Hu explains from a basic point. A band is a group of at least 5 players, or features such as a garage or dedicated call line are unlocked.

After sharing these knowledge, I will start explaining about the "Shirakukan".

"[White Deer Anchor] is a band made by a player named Ledge." The deputy leader was Letty. There are seven members. "

Is there not so many seven of you?

"Well, I think so. In an extreme case, the" Knights of the Eagle "seems to be hundreds of people in size."

Though it was really extreme, Huu bitterly smiled.

Anyway, the band "Shirakukan" seems to be a small elite group founded by Ledge.

“Oh, yeah, Mr. Ledge's blogging. There's also a photo of the members there."

Clapping her hands tightly, Huu opens the window. A browser app that you can connect to from within the game, showing your personal blog site.

It's a simple site with a cheeky design, but the number of views shown in the right column is quite a number.

When Hu chose an article fixed at the top of the site, a page was opened with an introduction about the "Shirakukan".

"Oh no! What is this?!"

Seeing that, the maple unexpectedly raised its voice.

A photo attached to an article. It was a screenshot taken in the game. Seven players stand on a sandy beach by the sea.

Two of them - the girl in the shape of a swordsman and the young man in the costume - did not dare to touch them. And more than that, it was the ratio of men and women that the maple could not ignore.

"You're just a girl!"

"Ahahah. That's right. But I don't think you're very conscious, Mikage-kun.

In other words, does this mean that Ledge is cheating on you?

Sometimes you have to go to the slash immediately. The maple trembles as it suppresses the intestine as it starts to boil.

Not knowing or unknowing what was inside him, Hu laughed with a bright voice.

"It doesn't look like it. I won't listen to what Ledge and the other members have to say."

"I-I see..."

Hearing Huu's voice, Maple regains its composure.

In the first place, this is the world of FPOs. Besides being unreal, it is unlikely that a romantic relationship will develop.

For the time being, I didn't think that Ledge was a stubborn player for the female player.

Speaking of which, why would Maple want to see Mr. Ledge?

"I heard you're a strong guy." I would definitely like to have it hand in hand. "

Huh. Maple, I feel confident in my abilities.

Fufu was amazed, and Maple laughed vaguely and deceived. If you tell them that you are the owner of an ancient martial arts school with a long history, it is possible that you will find out who you are.

Speaking of which, there's also a large dojo in our neighborhood ─

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry."

Maple hurriedly stopped Fu, who made a frivolous statement. The internal cold sweat does not stop, but it is not clear whether the person in question knows or does not know.

Fu said that he was also working on a production job, but what kind of skill structure is it?

To keep the conversation away from herself, Maple starts a new conversation. Nevertheless, this is also an important story. From now on, the two of you will act together, so you need to know what you can and can't do for each other.

Fuu, you've listened to me so well, I swayed my triangular ears and opened the skill window.

"The battle system is a [Staff] skill." I tried to use the weapon all the time, but I was afraid of the blade. And the [cooking] skill! Actually, I'm good at cooking too! "

"I see. Is that why the Chinese pot?"

The maple reminds me of the large Chinese pot Hu carried on his back. It's on the sofa now.

Yeah. It's called a backpack. It's an excellent cooking utensil and armor.

She proudly puts the pot on the table.

The pot, which is black and glossy with oil all over, is smooth and curved. It was a size that I didn't think was for home use, and there was a sense of weight.

Actually, I'm a real Chinese- ─

Gon! Gon!

"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't feel like I've met Maple-kun for the first time, so my mouth is loose."

"... well, be careful"

Maple has a distant eye and thinks that it might be better to buy stomach medicine after logging out. I can't believe we're under this kind of pressure here.

"Anyway, I'm pretty good at cooking even real food." I'll treat you to a treat, too, Maple. "

"That's great. I'm looking forward to it."

The Ryugoku Pavilion is quite an old founding shop. Maple herself was often taken by parents and pupils from childhood.

I don't think the flavor can be reproduced in the game, but I put my trust in it.

"Anyway, it's a pair of [cane] skills and [cooking] skills." it might bother you.... "

“Never mind, I'd rather have someone who can cook.”

You'll be able to handle the battle on your own. With that in mind, the maple nods. Because the FPO is a real world, real-world skill is quite advantageous. That was known in the basic training program.

Seeing that the maple lightly accepted it, Fuu stiffened. Then he put the Chinese pot aside and grabbed his hand.

Thank you! Nice to meet you!

Yeah.

By the way, you've always been a good girl. And Maple remembers as she looks away. I also played with my sons in the summer and was burned in the sun.

"So, Maple, what's your makeup?" Have you already made up your mind? "

"For now, let's use the sword." It doesn't matter if it's another weapon... but it's a bit of a pleasure. "

I see?

Fu slightly tilted his neck as he watched the maple as he stroked the sheath. Regardless of the meaning of the words, it seems that Maple has developed his skills as a swordsman.

"In the end, will you become a swordsman with a cane? The attacker and the attacker are already wearing the attacker."

Attacker?

"It's a so-called offensive job." At first glance, it seemed that the balance would be good if there was a support (buffer) who recovered from the rear guard or a shield (tank) who took on the enemy attack. "

Listening to the explanation, the maple nodded one by one. It's a unique division of roles in online games where multiple people can play together.

"However, even if you recruit friends out of sight, you won't be able to take the lead." We happened to have the same purpose of meeting the members of the [Shiraku-an].

"I see." In the meantime, let's go out to the field together and think about it. "

Maple also agrees with Hu's policy.

In the first place, Maple thought that the other members were unnecessary because it intended to cover all attacks from the enemy.

Well then, let's go out to the field later.

"Yeah, I'm not out of town yet."

While the green tea was not cold, the conversation stopped.

It was a maple that was about to stand up quickly, but Huu held it back.

"Well, more than that, you can't fight when you're hungry." It's Mr. Hu's feast today, so let's eat with Dawn! "

"Dawn..."

At the same time as the anniversary of the formation of the party, Hu taps the menu window in a good mood.

Oh, it looks like there's a special weekly Challenge Menu!

"That's not good-"

The maple that tried to stop him was slightly out of reach, and his fingers tapped on Fu's window faster.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting. This week's special weekly Challenge Menu, "Super Duo Fortress Omurice ~ Two kinds of Sauce Ape, Hamburger and Fried Chicken Stone Wall Style ~"

Shortly thereafter, two NPCs in maid appearance brought large plates.

There are huge omelettes like mountain rice, surrounded by fist-like hamburgers and deep-fried chicken like a stone wall. Demi-glace sauce and cream sauce hang in plenty of golden eggs, a very luxurious dish.

"Hey, hey. Fuu, did you get a good look at the size?"

"Ah, ahhh... I wonder."

Looking at the huge pile of eggs that occupy half of the table, the two of them are stunned. No matter what I think, it's not a common-sense amount.

This will be the bronze level of the challenge menu. If you can finish your meal within an hour, you can try the next Silver level.

"Ahhhh..."

While listening to the maid's explanation, Maple rushes to check the menu.

The Xintiandi Challenge Menu seemed to be a barometer of prowess for the cannibalists. It is divided into five grades, from bronze to mithril, and terrifyingly, this giant omelette is the lowest grade.

It says that it is a system to prevent accidents in which novices suddenly ask for reckless menus, but no matter what they think, the estimate is ambiguous.

Fu, are you good at eating too much?

"...... I think you can eat more than the average girl."

Fufu slammed his ears with a look of apologies. Looking at her, she looked at the pile of omelettes again and reached for the spoon as it almost staggered.

For now, I'll eat as much as I can eat

Um, yeah. Let's do our best.

Then you two will face another battle before the real battle.

Holding her head against the difficult slide, Maple picks up the place where the demi-glace sauce is and brings it to her mouth.

"... it's delicious."

Western cuisine is rare for maples, which usually focus on Japanese cuisine. The flavor itself is very good, but it's rather appetizing.

This might work. With such low expectations in mind, Maple went with Hu to attack the castle.
